e) executing tests

3. A fault is defined as:
a) a deviation from expected delivery or service
b) a manifestation of an error in software
c) a malfunction resulting from the software being run
d) a mistake made by the developer
e) a human error made by the developer

4. A regression test:
a) is only run once
b) will always be automated
c) will help ensure unchanged areas of the software have not been affected
d) will help ensure changed areas of the software have not been affected
e) can only be run during user acceptance testing 

5. Match the following terms with the following definitions
q) Planning 
r) Specifying
s) Execution
t) Recording 
u) Check completion 

v) Determine whether there are any faults 
w) Specify any exceptions to the strategy
x) Create test inputs and expected results
y) Running the most important tests first
z) Deciding whether we can stop testing 

a) q=w; r=v; s=y; t=x; u=z 
b) q=w; r=z; s=v; t=y; u=x 
c) q=x; r=w; s=y; t=v; u=z 
d) q=w; r=x; s=y; t=v; u=z 
e) q=x; r=w; s=v; t=z; u=y 
 
6. If an expected result is not specified then:
a) it is still worthwhile to run the test
b) we cannot run the test
c) it may be difficult to repeat the test
d) it may be difficult to determine if the test has passed or failed
e) we cannot automate the user inputs

7. Which statement about faults is false?
a) a fault can cause a failure
b) a fault is when something goes wrong with the system
c) a fault can be found in test documentation
d) a fault is also known as a bug or a defect
e) a fault is a manifestation of an error in the software

8. Which of the following are valid reasons for testing being necessary:
1. there are faults in the software
2. it assesses the quality of the software
3. it is part of the development lifecycle
4. it  finds out about the reliability of the software
5. it helps avoid being sued by customers

a) All the above are valid reasons why testing is necessary
b) 1,2,3 are valid reasons; 4 & 5 are not
c) 1& 2 are valid reasons; 3,4,5 are not
d) 1,2,3,4 are valid reasons; 5 is not
e) 1,2,4,5 are valid reasons; 3 is not

9. Which of the following could be a reason for a failure?
1. testing fault
2. software fault
3. design fault
4. environment fault
5. documentation fault

a) 2 is a valid reason: 1,3,4 & 5 are not
b) 1 & 2 are valid reasons; 3,4,5 are not
c) 1,2,3,4 are valid reasons; 5 is not
d) 1,2,3 are valid reasons; 4 & 5 are not
e) All of them are valid reasons for failure

10. Tests are prioritised so that:
a) you shorten the time required for testing
b) you do the best testing in the time available
c) you do more effective testing
d) you find more faults
e) you complete all the planned testing

What is LCSAJ Testing?

Image
LCSAJ testing requires a model of the source code which identifies control flow jumps (where control flow does not pass to a sequential statement). An LCSAJ (Linear Code Sequence and Jump) is defined by a triple, conventionally identified by line numbers in a source code listing: the start of the linear code sequence, the end of the linear code sequence, and the target line to which control flow is transferred. Test cases shall be designed to exercise LCSAJs. For each test case, the following shall be specified: - the input(s) to the component; - identification of the LCSAJ(s) to be executed by the test case; - the expected outcome of the test case.

What is State Transition Testing?

Image
State transition testing uses a model of the states the component may occupy, the transitions between those states, the events which cause those transitions, and the actions which may result from those transitions. The model shall comprise states, transitions, events, actions and their relationships.   The states of the model shall be disjoint, identifiable and finite in number.   Events cause transitions between states, and transitions can return to the same state where they began.   Events will be caused by inputs to the component, and actions in the state transition model may cause outputs from the component. The model will typically be represented as a state transition diagram, state transition model, or a state table. Test cases shall be designed to exercise transitions between states.   A test case may exercise any number of transitions.   For each test case, the following shall be specified: -   the starting state of the component          -   the input(s) to the compo

1. Which of the following statements contains the correct use of the terminology? a) a fault by a person may introduce an error into the software that may cause a failure in operation b) a failure by a person may introduce a fault into the software that may cause an error in operation c) an error made by a person may introduce a fault into the software that may cause a failure in operation d) an error made by a person may introduce a failure into the software that may cause a fault in operation e) a failure by a person may cause an error in the software that may cause a fault in operation 2.   A reliable system will be one that: a) is unlikely to be completed on schedule b) is unlikely to cause a failure c) is likely to be fault-free d) is likely to be liked by the users e) includes a minimum number of components 3.   Which of the following statements about ‘Integration Testing in the Small’ is false? a) It can combine all the components together in one go
